I cannot recommend Courtney highly enough for the incredible work she does as an equine massage therapist. She has been working with my horse, Rudy, for over two years and the difference in his comfort and overall well-being is truly remarkable.
Courtney is not only highly knowledgeable about equine anatomy and bodywork, but she also has a calm, kind, and intuitive approach that immediately puts the horses at ease. Rudy absolutely loves his sessions with her, and I’ve seen noticeable improvements in his movement and relaxation since we started working with her!
One of the things I appreciate most is how generous Courtney is with her knowledge. She always takes the time to explain what she’s doing and why, and she teaches me helpful techniques and stretches I can use between her visits. That guidance has empowered me to be a more supportive owner and to actively contribute to Rudy’s ongoing comfort and care.
Courtney is a true professional, and her passion for horses shines through in everything she does. I’m so grateful to have her as part of Rudy’s team. Thank you!!
Love,
Sammi and Rudy
I am a believer in bodywork for horses and humans. That being said, Courtney has the horses covered. She has been working with my horses for about ten years in assorted disciplines including cutting, Fox hunters, and hunter/jumpers.
She is educated, talented, thinks outside the box and takes the time to teach the owner, too. The horses love her and mine always go so much better after she works on them. The results are amazing and keeps them all going. She is compassionate, and really cares about your horse's well being. I would highly recommend her!

As the saying goes, ‘it takes a village’ to provide the best care we can for our horses, and
Courtney of Premier Equine Massage is a key player on team Tuuli and Bodie (my sensitive
young mare and more mature gelding).
Courtney brings a unique and dynamic combination of skills to her work with horses, and it shows on so many levels. Due to her pure love of all horses and ability to really listen to them, Courtney quickly created a relaxed and trusting relationship with both of my extremely different horses. With this foundation established, her knowledge of equine anatomy, biomechanics, energy, etc. goes deep, and shows in the results of every session.
Another wonderful aspect of working with Courtney is her love of learning and bringing exciting new ideas to our sessions. She is also an outstanding and patient educator, teaching me as well as we go. Monthly body work with Courtney has become a critical piece of our health maintenance and preventive care plan. She is also such a pleasure to work with, and all three of us are truly so happy to see her when she walks into the barn.

Courtney,
I wanted to thank you for your massage work on Hailey. It has made such an incredible difference in our rides. Before, she was extremely tight and sensitive in her neck, back, and hind end. Getting her to bend and flex was a constant battle and I could tell she was trying but it was so difficult for her. I saw and felt such a huge difference after our frist appointment. It was truly like riding a different horse - she feels much looser and more flexible, relaxed, and willing. She warms up much more quickly. It is amazing to watch you work and see how much the horses enjoy it. I recommend your work to all of my equestrian friends. Thank you again!
